? And to finish, add the TapGestureRecognizer tag. This class makes possible the gesture recognition in the controls.
Using TapGestureRecognizer class
? Tapped Event: Defines the event that will get the control, when the user taps.
? NumberOfTapsRequired property: Defines the number of taps required by the event to be triggered.
